If you buy nothing else during this crazy #NSale thing (ha!), you should buy these jeans. Paige jeans are well known for fitting all body types. They are especially loved by those who have wonderfully curvy bodies (AKA you have a butt, unlike me -HA!). They are super duper flattering and uber comfy (they feel like leggings). Most importantly, they are a staple for the fall/winter. Dark denim can be dressed up or down and worn all season long. Plus, I have never seen a pair of Paige Denim for less than $100!
Here is another pair of Paige Denim jeans, also for less than $100, in burgundy. I’ve seen burgundy in the stores before, but for some reason, it is full on burgundy everywhere this pre-season.
Now I have to be honest, I bought these and haven’t taken them off since purchasing them. This is the pair I was searching for at the beginning of the spring/summer. You know, lightly distressed in a lighter wash, super comfy, and can be worn with tennis shoes and sandals. Well, I didn’t find them until the middle of the summer, but I couldn’t be happier. I forgot how comfy AG’s can be. They’re so comfy, I can even wear them in this heat. But don’t worry, I’ll be wearing them in the fall/winter, too. They’re perfect for watching football and going to games. Who are we kidding? I don’t watch football. BAHAHAHAHA!
The grayish/black jean is my favorite. I don’t know why, but I like them better than black jeans. I think they add a little something different to an outfit. If you are looking for a darker wash denim for the fall/winter, these are great! I also like these.
A high waisted, thicker legging with a fun zipper that’s less than $28? Yes, please!
Speaking of leggings, have you ever seen a more perfect leggings top?!?! I could live in this top and the leggings everyday. Am I getting old? HAHAHAHAHA!
How adorable is this sweater?!?! My stylist eye is trained to look for tops that give women the illusion of a waistline, and this one is so unique! I love it! I am wearing a higher rise jean in this picture, but I think this would look super cute with a tight cami or a flowy tank/shirt under. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, head to this post.
This shirt has a little following of it’s own, and you can see why. It’s super flattering on, you can dress it up and down, you can sloppy tuck it with jeans, you can tuck it into your skirt for work, you can wear it out with leggings. And it’s only $27.90. I only have one stylist caveat- you typically need to wear a camisole with it (just wanted you all to be well informed).
I have to be honest, I had to be convinced into buying this shirt. My friend, who was with me, has two of these Paige shirts. I was a little miffed by the price for a plaid shirt, because I could get a similar one at Old Navy. But then she started telling me about the benefits…. It’s not a chunky/bulky plaid shirt, but instead it lays nicely and is flattering.  You can wear a jacket over it with ease, and it’s lightweight enough that you can wear it with shorts in the fall when it’s that in between weather. Then I came home and was trying my purchase on for my husband, and he liked this one best. Well, thanks G. Can you come shopping with me more? HA!
I felt like I should go play tennis or golf in this super chic sweater. I don’t know why, but it made me happy. It’s like a throwback, but it’s still edgy and cool. I can’t wait to wear it with my new Paige jeans and these sneaks.
Can you tell how happy I was to put this sweater on? I had just found an amazing steal of a deal purse when I came across this sweater! It was freezing in the store, so I jumped to try it. Well, it was the softest thing I had ever put on! I can imagine wearing this all fall long with all my new boots/booties. Did I mention it’s a steal?
Cashmere is a bit indulgent for me, so buying it on sale makes me feel better! For this reason, I decided to go with a black cashmere wrap. I bought a grey one last year and found that I wore my black scarf instead, so I decided to buy it in black this year. Â
You couldn’t buy a statement necklace for the price of this scarf, and it serves the same purpose! Plus, this isn’t one of those infinity scarves you have to figure out. This one just plops right on top of your head!
I’m ending with this one, because all the other pictures are really serious! HA! This was when I was showing my girls my cheerleader moves. I tried out for cheerleading three times and never made it. I wonder why? HAHAHAHAHA!

Love your blog! What color is the crepe blouse in the picture? It looks navy, but didn’t see that color as an option. Do AG jeans fit true to size?
Carly Lee says
Hi Lori, I’m wearing black in the crepe blouse. The lighting in the dressing room was bad. Yes, the AG jeans fit tts.

The grey/black jeans with the anklet zipper. I begged my Momma in elementary school to buy me anklet zipper jeans and she refused. My inner 12 y/o is so excited they’re making a comeback!!
Carly Lee says
Ha! I love it!
Kimberly Scott says
Hi Carly. Do you wear the same size in AG and Paige? I’m familiar with how AG fits (which I agree is TTS, if not a tad small), but not Paige. Thanks! Can’t wait to see the dresses you found!! 🙂
Carly Lee says
Hi! Yes, Paige runs TTS! Order the same size you would order in Paige. I hope this helps!

Jennifer says
Are the burgundy Paige jeans truly burgundy? Or more purple?
Carly Lee says
That’s difficult to answer. I’d say the picture on the Nordstrom website is a good representation of the color.
Teri says
What size did you go with in the plaid shirt? Is is TTS or does it run big?
Carly Lee says
It runs TTS. I purchase an x-small. If you are in between sizes, I’d size down.
